Jeremiah 2:25-27
Modern English Version
25 Withhold your foot from being unshod
and your throat from thirst.
But you said, “There is no hope. No!
For I have loved strangers,
and after them I will go.”
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found,
so is the house of Israel ashamed.
They, their kings, their officials,
and their priests, and their prophets
27 say to a tree, “You are my father.”
And to a stone, “You gave birth to me.”
For they have turned their back to Me,
and not their face.
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
“Arise and save us.”
Jeremiah 2:25-27
New International Version
25 Do not run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!(A)
I love foreign gods,(B)
and I must go after them.’(C)
26 “As a thief is disgraced(D) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(E) and their prophets.(F)
27 They say to wood,(G) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(H) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(I) to me
and not their faces;(J)
yet when they are in trouble,(K) they say,
‘Come and save(L) us!’
